Friend sent a pic of this tag to me on a 69 Sport Satellite Vert his friend has , were these found on export cars ?
Yes and since that's a 69 STL car, any info anyone would be willing to share about the car would be appreciated.
Doug I thought about that after I asked the question. What I do know is it's a 383 - 4bbl , 4speed car .

My 69 RR had that tag and the export sticker on the door jamb. Although the speedo was in mph, kph, so it wasn't a true "exported" car. The logical conclusion was it was, as mentioned above, ordered overseas (Vietnam) and was delivered to the dealership of choice upon their arrival back in the states. My RR was a Lynch Rd built car, FWIW. Performance car graphics sells new ones: http://www.performancecargraphics.com/Export_Plate_Tags.htm

seems like canadian export cars always got the MPH speedo while any car ordered for over seas got the KPH unless it was, like pointed out, ordered by a GI

Cars built for Canada were not considered export cars. Chrysler considered any car ordered from overseas an export car, so that includes cars ordered by US service men stationed overseas. In a nutshell, they could order a car from Vietnam, Germany or wherever they were & have it delivered to a dealership of their choice stateside. They could pick it up when they returned home that way. Some information on Chrysler's Military Sales Program for the 1969 model year at http://www.hamtramck-historical.com/dealerships/1969-DealershipsMilitarySalesOrderingInfo.shtml

I've seen the tag on St. Louis '69 b-bodies left of center (driver's side) of the header panel/tie bar? between the fenders. If you look at the pic that JohnRR posted, that's the radiator in the background. I've seen '69 (A/B) & '70 (E) Hamtramck near the fender tag.

I have one of those tags on my wall in the garage. I came from a 69 Barracuda 318, 4 spd, 8 3/4 coupe rust-bucket from North Dakota. I parted it and cut it up. The tag was located next to the fender tag. Travis..
